Vaping products are the most popular stop smoking aid in England. However, vaping is often portrayed in a negative way, leading to confusion about its safety. #VapingDemystified provides people with the information needed to make an informed decision 👇 yorkshirecancerresearch.org.…

Funny how former FDA officials change their tune once they go thru the FDAs "revolving door" to obtain a high paying job in the industry they once regulated: Dr. Matt Holman was the former Chief Scientist at the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products (2017-2022) where he approved and signed the infamous "fatal flaw" memo that resulted in marketing denials to 99% of millions of PMTAS. Dr. Holman is now the VP & Chief Science & Regulatory Strategy Officer for PMI. (While at the FDA he oversaw & signed PMI’s IQOS PMTA and MRTP authorizations). During his FDA tenure, he didn't seem very concerned about the 500K adult smokers that died every year he was there. Instead, he was worried more about how flavors (that adults prefer) might also be used by youth. NOW, he is complaining that "America Forgot the Smoker. It’s Costing Lives." realclearhealth.com/articles…

Not exactly what I said. I was addressing only the enforcement discretion policy, and said I would have considered governing principles on which products qualified for that enforcement discretion, to align with pre-established regulatory objectives.

Is Marty Makary defying the White House on vape flavors? Despite FDA tobacco scientist sign-off. @DrMakaryFDA @FDATobacco @CDCgov @VaporTechAssoc @NannyFreeState @INNCOorg @GFNicotine @GrimmGreen @LegionVaping

Study linking e-cig use to stroke has been retracted due to fraudulent author behavior. Used in anti-vaping campaigns, it reported a sample size tenfold larger than what's actually in the NHANES dataset, a massive discrepancy indicating serious issues. #Vaping #Health #Research

3⃣ It blocks "accidental switching." Preplanned quit attempts with an Rx would only occur in the ~15% of people who smoke and are actively planning to quit. But the reason why e-cigs are so impactful at pop-level is because many people switch without planning/trying to.

I say again: That makes sense. Ban all less harmful alternatives so the children can only access cigarettes.

We commend @HealthNYGov for taking action to stop the flow of illegal vape products. Illicit products put youth at risk for nicotine addiction and evade public health safeguards. Strong enforcement like this helps protect communities and save lives. on.ny.gov/4tiauvV

Rep. Krishnamoorthi soundly defeated in Senate primary. Sources close to the campaign say his crusade against flavored vapes played a decisive role

14 years ago today I got my first vape kit & quit smoking after 25 years. 5 years earlier I'd given up trying to quit, having used every method multiple times without success. But thankfully a friend made me try her vape and that's when I realized I'd found my way out of smoking!

The rapid rise of groups of foundations, spending billions on activist lobbying campaigns via dark fiscal sponsors, is controlling the narrative and changing the public policy landscape. @zaruk asks: What is the true cost of this reallocation of resources? thefirebreak.org/p/the-true-…

Major tobacco companies were behind a vape product Registry bill introduced in Kansas. The Kansas Senate unanimously approved the bill imposing tougher regulations on vapes in an effort to crack down on unlicensed products and sent it to the House. kansasreflector.com/briefs/b…
